Yes, for me T&D is still the best Bolero ever (not my favourite ice dance program ever, but the best Bolero), Carolina is now in second place and I would put Adelina in third: there's something about awakard about Plushenko's program (maybe it's just the costume)...

I wouldn't touch it, and not just because it's T&D's signature number.

For one thing, if I were a skater, I'd want my best ever program (which of course would be whatever the current season was) to be competing only with the people at the competitions I was skating at, and not with some iconic program for the ages.

I'd want people when they heard my music, to remember me, and me only, not T&D or whomever.

In a gala, maybe, just so that I could demonstrate I could skate to it; as a competitive program? no. Particularly not in dance.

True... but at the same time V/M and D/W are so above every other team that virtually their only competition is each other. If I were a competitor at that level, I imagine I'd be hungry for a greater challenge and this would be it for me.
